Large Apetite, a photo from Islamabad, East

Photographer's Note

A man smokes 4 cigarettes at the shrine of Hazrat Barri Imam, half of the people who smoke regularly today - about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco. Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. Even hundreds of thousands of people who have never smoked die each year from diseases caused by breathing second hand tobacco smoke

Hi Waseem,
I like your shot, very symbolic, but with a meaning, not "just-a-shot". Well done. Although I would try to catch the man's eye too in the frame, your composition makes it every-smoker-case, not just this man. Good.
Kind regards,
Michal

Hello Waseem,
Seems crazy to smoke 4 cigarettes at the time; you say it was at a shrine, does this gesture have any symbolic or religious meaning? Good DOF here.
Regards,
Daniel

Hi,
Humorous shot though it is against health.

Isn't it a shame that people like this stuff so much with the information out that it will kill you? This is a good statement photo, very well done.

Share with everyone,

Hi Waseem,

Very impressive shot! The metalic colors, the focus, the grain, the composition preserving the guys identity all very well played. Was he smoking all those cigarretes during a ceremony while receiving a deity?

Regards,

Ha!
great moment you captured :D
only imo it's too little left side and too much right side of the pic.
in spite of it.. it's quite good photo :)
cheers
